In 2025, TikTok Shop's European marketplace is set to unlock unprecedented Black Friday benefits: sellers with zero prior experience can directly enter core markets such as Germany, France, and Italy; commission rates will be reduced from 5% to 2% for these new markets, while the UK rate drops from 9% to 3%, effective throughout the entire November peak season, enabling sellers to capture traffic peaks at 30–60% of normal costs. This new policy breaks down industry barriers, offering strategic opportunities for cross-border e-commerce and brand globalization, backed by 200 million monthly active users and a 200% surge in platform traffic. The average order value in Europe reaches €35, and 68% of Gen Z consumers make purchases via social platforms. The platform’s “content-driven discovery to interest conversion” ecosystem aligns closely with young consumer behavior, providing strong support for new merchants aiming to create breakout products.
Sellers with no prior experience can complete onboarding within seven days. Days 1–2: Submit business licenses and Unified Social Credit Codes for mainland China or Hong Kong companies online through the National Overseas Investment Management and Service Network System, along with tax compliance documents and "actual cargo owner" customs declaration information, to quickly obtain the *Overseas Business Compliance Filing Certificate*. Days 3–5: Utilize AI-powered content generation tools to automatically convert Chinese scripts into bilingual English-German product promotion videos, with localized subtitles, voiceovers, and scene assets generated in one integrated workflow. Days 6–7: Submit materials for review, with feedback provided within just 48 hours; if rejected, supplementary documents—including complete customs declarations, logistics records, and agency contracts—can be submitted to ensure “one-time submission, multi-document integration.” Additionally, a dropshipping model allows sellers to start with zero upfront capital—simply upload product images to fulfill orders.
A 30-day intensive sales strategy: Build an integrated “on-platform + off-platform” traffic matrix. On-platform, leverage tiered commission waivers, 30% product subsidies, and FBT (Free Shipping Threshold) promotions to reduce customer acquisition costs. Off-platform, deploy influencer-led scenario-based livestreams and short videos, combined with data-driven product selection tailored to regional preferences—focusing on beauty and fashion in France, and 3C electronics and home goods in Germany. Umay achieved a 244% GMV increase through 30 co-streaming sessions with top French influencers; Katch Me rose to become the #1 women’s apparel brand in the UK within three months through ordinary model try-on videos, demonstrating the high penetration power of influencer networks. Logistics and after-sales services are equally critical: 76% of consumers prioritize free shipping, and 90% value seamless return and exchange experiences. It is recommended to utilize local warehouses, real-time tracking, and convenient return solutions.
